Favourite Films
-
"Taxi Driver" and "Midnight Cowboy". Oh, and "Donnie Darko". Didn't understand a thing of the last one, but it, well, moved me. No idea why. I cherish the dvd like a precious jewel.
-
I'd like to mention something sophisticated and epic like 'Ben Hur' or 'Gone with the wind' but truthfully they bored the crap out of me so my golden oldie favorite is 'Blade runner' (yes it is old) with 'Close encounters of the third kind' a close second. You can see a theme when I mention my all time fav is 'Independence day'.

This thread is great for inspiation on DVD rentals. Thanks guys. I am always so ignorant when I am there, like (some) women that can't make up their mind between hundreds of pairs of shoes.
(sorry if this came out a little sexistic, I am a kind guy
)[EDIT]: I added the word 'some'.

how has no one mentioned the greatest trilogy of all time?
NOT starwars (least of all because there are six of them now)
NOT lord of the rings (yawn)
NOT die hard (although easily a close second)
and NOT The Matrix (personally i still only pay any attention to the first one, the other two are superfluous, and clearly awful)so, any guesses what trilogy i am thinking of?

No idea Pav, there are some good movies listed.
My favorites are
"The Good, the bad & the ugly"
"Snatch"
"Pulp Fiction"
"Blade Runner"
"Tombstone"Like Star Wars I can put these in and watch them over and over again and never get tired.
There are better movies out there but these are the ones I enjoy watching the most. -

LOL@Kwis, 'to boldly go where no man has gone before'
My kids and I often discuss our best movies, but there are just so many and getting the order of merit right depends day to day on what one feels like watching. We decided to do it in categories like Sci-fi, Historical Epics, Psychological thrillers, etc. This way movies that deserve a mention like 'Gladiator', 'Space odyssey 2001' and 'Silence of the lambs' get honored.
